Description
Enjoy irresistible, worry-free Edible Cookie Dough with Chocolate Chips! This quick, safe treat uses heat-treated flour and is perfect for sweet cravings without baking.
Ingredients
- Heat-treated all-purpose flour (1 cup): The safe base for our edible cookie dough.
- Unsalted butter (1/2 cup, softened): Adds richness and tender texture.
- Light brown sugar (1/2 cup, packed): Contributes to the classic cookie dough flavor and chewiness.
- Granulated sugar (1/4 cup): For balanced sweetness.
- Milk (2-3 tablespoons, whole or preferred): Binds the dough and adjusts consistency.
- Vanilla extract (1 teaspoon): Essential for that warm, familiar cookie dough aroma.
- Salt (1/2 teaspoon): Balances sweetness and enhances other flavors.
- Semi-sweet chocolate chips (1/2 cup or more): The classic add-in for that iconic cookie dough experience.
Instructions
- Heat Treat the Flour (5 minutes): Spread 1 cup of all-purpose flour on a microwave-safe plate. Microwave on high for 60-90 seconds, stirring every 30 seconds, until it reaches 160°F. Alternatively, bake in a 300°F oven for 5-7 minutes. Let it cool completely. This step is crucial for safe Edible Cookie Dough with Chocolate Chips!
- Cream Butter and Sugars (2-3 minutes): In a medium bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar with an electric mixer until the mixture becomes light and fluffy. It should be pale in color and well combined.
- Add Flavorings (30 seconds): Beat in the vanilla extract and salt until just combined.
- Incorporate Flour (1 minute): Gradually add the cooled, heat-treated flour to the butter mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined. The dough will look crumbly at first.
- Adjust Consistency (1 minute): Slowly add the milk, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the Edible Cookie Dough with Chocolate Chips comes together into a thick, scoopable dough. You might not need all of it, or you might need a tiny bit more. The dough should hold its shape. (Troubleshooting: If dough is too dry, add a bit more milk. Too wet? A spoonful more heat-treated flour.)
- Fold in Chocolate Chips (30 seconds): Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips (or any other desired mix-ins) using a spatula until evenly distributed. (Variation: Use mini chocolate chips for an extra chocolatey punch in every bite of your Edible Cookie Dough with Chocolate Chips!)
Notes
Optional Add-ins & Smart Swaps:
- Mini chocolate chips, sprinkles, chopped nuts (like pecans or walnuts), or even M&Ms for extra flair.
- Swap milk for heavy cream for an even richer dough, or a dairy-free milk alternative for dietary needs.
Notes on Quality/Seasonality:
- Ensure butter is truly softened to room temperature for smooth creaming.
- Use a good quality vanilla extract (or vanilla bean paste) for the best flavor.
- Fresh flour is always best; make sure to heat treat it properly to ensure safety.
